About this opportunity
The Air Education and Training Command issued a single-source notice on May 6, 2026, announcing its intent to award a contract to Disruptive Electronic Warfare Machines, LLC for threat-emulation RF emitter systems; the due date for capability statements is May 13, 2026. This procurement is not open to competitive proposals. The 85th Fighter Group at Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Arkansas requires low-cost, low-footprint C-band and X-band DART (Digital Airborne Radar Target) emitter systems to support Agile Combat Employment training and Large Force Employment Exercises under Program Action Directive 23-04. The statutory authority for sole-source award is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5), justified under RFO 6.103-5(c)(2) as a Small Business Innovation Research Phase III purchase; DEWM was previously awarded SBIR Phase III contracts in 2025 for DART X-Band (FA864925P0327) and DART C-Band (FA667525P0017) systems. Vendor outreach determined that alternative sources exist only as resellers, resulting in unnecessary cost to the government. Sources interested in challenging this determination must submit a capability statement with technical data and cost information demonstrating clear capability to meet the requirement; requests that only ask questions will not be considered responsive. The contracting officer Jacob Alexander Madriaga (97th Contracting Flight) will determine fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.4. The estimated contract value is under $10 million.
Notice text
The 85 Fighter Group requires low-cost, low footprint emitter systems to enable high end training at Ebbing ANGB, AR as directed by Program Action Directive (PAD) 23-04. This PAD states "the USAF will fund Ebbing ANGB infrastructure to conduct US training exercise activities." This includes Agile Combat Employment (ACE) that requires effective employment in unfamiliar airspace that includes robust training threats. Additionally with PAD 23-04 the additional emitters will be used to support Large Force Employment Exercises to provide capstone training to other Formal Training Units. These requirements have the 85th FG seeking to procure a C-band, and X-band DART systems.
The Government intends to award this requirement to Disruptive Electronic Warfare Machines, LLC (CAGE: 9LRS9) on a single-source basis pursuant to RFO 6.103-5(c)(2).
The proposed contract action is for supplies/services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with a single source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement.
Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes technical data and cost information, sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to meet the requirement. Requests for documentation, additional information, or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response.
A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Please see attached Single Source Justification for further information.
